strated. The law itself was political job,
and its enactment was procured by corrupt
and indecent methods. Under it, in pursu-
ance of previous understanding, and as
reward for dirty work done and expected to
be done, a VIGOROUSLY unfit person was APP
pointed president of the joint boards of all
the institutions. Perhaps a more unfit man
for this position than ''Dr." Harrison might
have been found in the State, but he was so
thoroughly and symmetrically unfit, so con-
spicuously lacking in any qualification, that
it was not thought worth while to look fur
Their. Besides, he had done good deal of
dirty work in getting the law passed, and
could be depended on for any amount of dirty
work in the future. The system was made
for him and he for the system. But for the
Brown law Harrison might never have
achieved the notoriety he has, and without
him the inherent viciousness of the law might
never have been so clearly demonstrated.
Such a complete coincidence of malign in
iuences could hardly fail to pro-
duce surprising results. They came
In the startling disclosures of the
Insane Hospital management, disclosing
picture of incompetence, jobbery, corruption
and inhumanity that shocked and sickened
the State. It is needless now to recapitulate
that part of our recent history. 1t is still too
painfully fresh in the public mind The
removal of Harrison and Gapen, their refusal
to surrender their offices, and the controversy
growing out Of it, are the natural result and
continuing phases of the old scandal. It all
grows out of vicious system. The substitu-
ton of better men for those removed may
work temporary improvement, but if the
sore is salved over now it will break out again
in a new place. What is needed is that the
institutions should be removed from the
sphere of partisan politics.

CONTEST OVER PROPERTY.
A Son Claims his Interest in His
Fathers Fatate,

Fathers Estate.
Judge Willoughby as attorney for George
G. Cox yesterday filed bill In equity
against Jane p. Cox for discovery account,
and to declare certain deeds null and void.
The parties to the bill are brother and sister,
and the only surviving children of William
Cox. The father died in August, 1889,
leaving quite large amount of real estate
and personal property in this city, which,
It is claimed, had 1t remained intact would
at the present time been worth $3.50, 900.
The deceased left will In which he de-
vised his estate to his wife in trust for the
maintenance, support, and education OF
their children, with power to sell and con
vey the property or any part OF 1t, &C., for
the benefit Of herself and the children. At
her death the residue of the estate was to
be divided share and share alike among the
children. At the time Mrs. Cox accepted
the trust Of executrix there were four child
ren living. She died Aug. 13, 1887, two Of
the children having died prior to that time,
one In 1S4T and the other In 1875.
In 1855, the complainant being In want,
and the property not being applied to his
support, he says that his mother offered to
give him $500 to release his iAtorest In the
estate and promised to make a will In his
favor, and under these conditions he exc
cuted the deed without reading IL. Subse.
Quently a second deed was made, which he
says was forced upon him from overpower-
ing necessity without lawful consideration
and In violation OF his rights growing out OF
| the relations OF trustee. 1t is further stated
that on Jan. 5, 1857, Mrs. Cox procured
| another Of the children, James ID. Cox, to
| execute deed similar to that made by the
| complainant, with the same reservations and
| conditions 1t is charged that at the time
| this last paper was executed the son was
| incapable Of making deed by want OF mem
tai capacity, weakness OF intellect, and un.
soundness OF mind; that subsequently he
was taken to the insane asylum, and died
there In 1875.
1t is claimed also that these deeds are
l void and do not sustain the life interest of
the wife In the estate arising from the
operations OF the will. 1t is charged fur
| ther that for thirty years the defendant
lived with her mother and contrived to OBJ
tain great influence aud control over her,
allenated her from the son, and prevented
him from obtaining but little knowledge OF
The condition. OF the estate and transactions
l In reference thereto. He says that large
| part of the estate has seen transferred by
his sister to different parties, relnvest-
ments have been made and large amounts
are due the estate, but he is unable to give
| any account of them. There has been no
administration on the estate, aud he de-
clares that his sister is without authority
| to collect or take charge OF the personal
proI erty. He therefore prayes for the
order of the court as stated above.
